5 Dunks Zach LaVine Should do in 2016 Dunk Contest
By Jake Hyman
3. Scorpion
There aren’t too many dunks that top Jordan Kilganon’s “Scorpion.” This venomous concoction exudes pure filth. If LaVine can pull it off Saturday, it’s a wrap for his opponents.
Not only is the dunker not even glimpsing when trying to convert the dunk attempt, he’s opposite of the basket at the finish. On a dunk that’s probably never been witnessed by the average NBA fan, LaVine might be running with the highlight of the year if he can execute the Scorpion to perfection.
It’s on the verge of unbelievable that this dunk could possibly be pulled off in front of a national audience. It’s also a quantum-complicated dunk to execute, due to the many intricacies involved. Mentioned previously, LaVine’s ideal body measurements allow him to perform any dunk he wants, no matter the difficulty.
He might settle for the generic windmills and through-the-legs dunks, but showcasing another ultra-intense dunk like the Scorpion would boost the contest’s prestige. LaVine’s dunks from last year were borderline insane, but he’d get significant buzz pulling this dunk out and nailing it.
